CEDAR HILLS TO RECOGNIZE CHAD LEWIS CEDAR HILLS – As part of the Cedar Hills Champions program, the City Council will recognize Chad Lewis for receiving the Distinguished Eagle Scout Award through the Boy Scouts of America. This award is given to men who earned their Eagle Scout Award in their youth and then received extraordinary national-level recognition, fame, or eminence in their profession. Mr. Lewis grew up in Orem, Utah and played college football for Brigham Young University. At BYU he was an All-WAC first-team choice and a UPI All-American honorable mention, as well as being named an Academic All-American in 1996. In 1997 Lewis signed as a free agent with the Philadelphia Eagles and played 2 ½ seasons before he signed with the St. Louis Rams for one season. It was that year the Rams won the Super Bowl. Lewis was re-signed by the Eagles and caught the game-winning touchdown pass in the 2005 NFC Championship game. Lewis suffered a serious foot injury that kept him out of the Super Bowl XXXIX game. Chad currently serves as the NFL’s Ambassador to Southeast Asia and is the Associate Athletic Director – Development at BYU. “We are honored to recognize Chad for his many accomplishments,” stated Mayor Gary Gygi. “He is a wonderful example of the success that comes with hard work and determination. We are proud to have him as a member of our community.” The recognition ceremony will take place during the July 15, 2014 City Council meeting at 7:00pm at the Cedar Hills Community Recreation Center located at 10640 N. Clubhouse Drive. July 16, 2014 will be declared Chad Lewis Day in Cedar Hills. ***** For additional information or for media inquiries please contact Jenney Rees at 801-358-8730 or via email at [email protected] .
